Pinon Hills Elementary School Solar Photovoltaic Project

Pinon Hills Elementary School Solar Photovoltaic Project

The proposed project would consist of a 152-kilowatt (kW) direct current solar PV system at Pinon Hills Elementary School, including 6 linear arrays (total of 27 panels) and a 135 kW inverter. Panels would be ground-mounted on steel pile footings, tilted at 20-degrees (max. height of 7'8" above grade). Ground cover ratio would be 33% over 0.78 acres. The project would include 249 yards of fencing, equipment concrete pads and shade structure, and 245 yards of utilities trenching. Construction period is estimated to be 10 weeks. Vehicle access would be provided by existing unpaved roads. No new permanent employees would be required. Limited amounts of water for cleaning (e.g., rinsing down) of solar PV arrays twice a year would be provided by 2,000-gal water truck.
